| | Description | Author and Revit Architecture expert Eric Wing walks you through designing, documenting, and presenting a four-story office building. The continuous tutorial begins with the Revit interface and standard conventions for placing walls, doors, and windows, then progresses through the building's design as would happen in the real world. You'll learn how to work with structural grids, beams, and foundations; add text and dimensions; build floors layer by layer; join exterior and interior walls; and create roofs and ceilings as well as stairs, ramps, and railings. You'll also be introduced to using embedded families and formulas, crucial site considerations, and importing and exporting to various formats.For Instructors: Teaching supplements are available for this title. | |

 Excellent presentation of RAC 2010 for beginners as well as intemediate users May 09, 2009
By lenny12458
This is an excellent book.
Mr. Wing should be commended for presenting the information organized in a systematic way in which by the end of each Chapter you will have a clear understanding of what was covered and what you should have learned.
It is obvious, by the approach of this book that the Author is not just a teacher of Revit but has actually used it in an office setting for production purposes. This is the only book that I have on this subject where I can tell that author has us; the working everyday Architects in mind when presenting the information.
The book is set up so that you (right from chapter one) begin the process of creating a building. You are directed and instructed on how each command works as it comes up during the process of creating the model.
Unlike other books on the subject the author limits the amount of required reading but adds plenty of images to make points. I learn visually as I believe many other Architects do. You are first explained what it is that you are about to do and then you proceed to follow step by step on how to do it, at the end of the exercise you get a final review with additional comments for additional comprehension.
Although the book is not as comprehensive as the Aubin books, the two books would work well together. Aubin's book although excellent in my opinion are a little to wordy, sometimes frustrating me because it is very easy to miss a step by getting caught up on information which would be better left for after you complete the task.
Again this is in my opinion where this book trumps all the others. The author guides you and once you actually learned or figured out what it was that you were doing are you given more information BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DIGESTING IT.!!!!!
If I was to rank the books on Revit Architecture I would rank this book and Aubin's as the top two 1a and 1b. L. C. Fox I would rank as number 2, the Stine books are excellent for a beginners and I would rank those # 3.
Most of the rest are not worth the money I spent on them.
I encourage Mr. Wing to give us another book on the more sophisticated portions of Revit such as content(family)creation, the use of the new 2010 way of making mass objects, specialty walls, custom doors, custom windows, etc. If presented in the same organized ways as RAC 2010 No Experience Required it will be a winner.

 's okay Jun 14, 2009
By Monkhouse Monk
What with the interface changes and what I have forgotten since I took the Revit class at the local CC, I felt the need to refresh my Revit skills. This book was the only one available that addressed the 2010 release.
As a refresher, it is fine. It might not be adequate for a complete novice, though: there are a few cases where the instructions refer to the old interface and a few where the instructions are inaccurate. The strangest thing is that "east" and "west" are often reversed. Unfortunately, they are not always reversed, so one must consider each directional reference on its own.

Excellent Jun 08, 2009
By Michael Mc Sweeney
This book is written from a practical work-flow viewpoint which helps the reader to start from a blank sheet as it were, and continue through to detailed plotted drawings to meet the standard one expects. This is a practical guide to using the software with no exaggerated frilly descriptions or endless variations of the same tool/command one is accustomed to in a manual. The book's project cleverly incorporates most, if not all, of the regular details in a building or project we all deal with in our daily work and not necessarily an exaggerated project we might aspire to. This book is more about the building than the software, as BIM should be. The author's sense of humor throughout is noteworthy, and appreciated.

Good first start but beware of the ERRORS Nov 08, 2009
By Patrick W. Langford
Book is layed out pretty well and is easy to read. The sample project is good because it takes you through a lot of the everyday work you'll do with Revit at the office. The main problem I had with this book is that there are a lot of errors. In the project there is an East wing and a West wing. The book confuses itself by mixing these labels back and forth so you don't know where you are. Also, some of the step by step commands they take you through are well planned out, but some are calling out the wrong term for the command or button or miss steps that you have to figure out for yourself. I really think that someone should take at least a paid beginners course before jumping into this book like I did. It will real help. Another problem I had with the sample project was the floor levels. They have you copy the first floor and create 4 more. That's fine until you label doors. Every floor labels the doors with 100, 100AAA, 100BBB. It drives me nuts. I have to go into every door and change the mark manually. The book should have covered room names and door numbers right at that point. Instead it goes into schedules where every door is 100+. I haven't used any other book, so I can't compare. I like this book in general and would still use it as a reference at work. I wish they would go back and edit through this book and correct all the mistakes. I got to the point where I wanted to highlight and correct everything and send them the book when I was done. Fire the editor / proofchecker.

So far so good.......... Nov 04, 2009
By R. Rodpracha
"megaron01"
Although I'm just about 60 pages into this ginormous book, I very pleased with the way the author breaks down the various explanations and exercises used to get accustomed to the Revit interface. The previous posters are right about the author's confusion about north/south/east/west directions but there are plenty of screen shots that compensate for that. Definitely good for people who just wanna get right into modeling!!!
I had previously bought 'Mastering Revit Architecture 2010' and found it to be inappropriate for newbies, like myself, who want more of hands on training with the software.
